More recovery funds coming to Schenectady County

Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand announced that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will provide $798,270 for General Electric Global Research Center for important biomedical research.

"This funding for biomedical research is a wise investment in the Capital Region economy," said Senator Schumer. "Not only will these federal dollars help New York institutions tackle our biggest health issues, but we will be creating research and teaching positions in the region. I will continue to fight for funding to keep our state's world-class schools and research facilities at the forefront of medicine."

"It is critical that we invest in the life-saving research at our world class medical facilities in the Capital Region," said Senator Gillibrand. "Federal funding for this cutting edge research will advance research and treatment while promoting economic growth for New York. I will continue to work with Senator Schumer to make sure New York gets its fair share of federal dollars."
